This year the Bedford Historical Society is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Join us for dinner and a presentation by Maggie Stier “On This Spot Once Stood” on September 20th, 6:30pm to celebrate our 50th anniversary. The dinner will be held at Murphy's Taproom & Carriage House in Bedford.

“On This Spot Once Stood…” Remembering the Architectural Heritage of New Hampshire
New Hampshire has lost many of its important historic buildings to fire, neglect, intentional demolition and re-development. In some cases, a plaque or marker provides a physical reminder of what was, but in other examples, no tangible evidence remains.

This program will showcase some of the celebrated buildings that New Hampshire has lost, and explore examples of how and why we commemorate those losses. It will explore the significance of these structures, explain their fate, and analyze popular responses, both historically and in the present.
